Settingsweather.php looks like this,

#---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# For NOAA reports
$SITE['NOAAdir']        = './NOAA-reports/';   // relative location of the NOAA report files
# Weather Station sensors and options for dashboard
$SITE['conditionsMETAR'] = 'KVTN';  // set to nearby METAR for current conditions icon/text
#  comment out conditionsMETAR if no nearby METAR.. conditions icon/text will not be displayed
#
$SITE['overrideRain']   = true; // =true then rain rate will set rain words instead of METAR rain words
#                               // =false - no change to METAR rain words (station rain rate not used)
$SITE['feelslike']      = 0;     // =0 use HeatIndex, =1 use Humidex, =2 use Apparent Temperature
$SITE['DavisVP']   = false;  // set to false if not a Davis VP weather station
$SITE['UV']      = false;  // set to false if no UV sensor
$SITE['SOLAR']      = true;  // set to false if no Solar sensor

As of this morning my nearby Metars aren't loading either!

I suspect a widespread NWS glitch.

According to "Is It Down Right Now" website the server at "tgftp(dot)nws(dot)noaa(dot)gov" is not responding. Just have to wait that to be resolved.

Correct.. tgftp.nws.noaa.gov is not responding.  They'll need to bring it back online, then the METAR issues should be resolved.
